Fabrication Of Single Drive Four Way Hacksaw Machine”

Abstract

                 There are many industrial applications where round bar or square bars are required to be operated on different machines to make machine components such as Shafts, Bolts, Screws etc. This needs more and more number of pieces to be cut for mass production of those components. To achieve this goal the 4-way hacksaw machine is developed. This paper proposes the model of 4-way hacksaw machine which is able to cut four pieces simultaneously without any jerk and minimum vibrations. The model implies conversion of rotary motion into the reciprocating motion for proper working of hacksaw. This model overcomes the limitations of conventional hacksaw machines which can cut single piece at a time. It is able to cut bars of different materials at same time and will be helpful in many industries due its compatibility, reliability and efficiency.

An AC motor is used to bring about the reciprocating motion required for cutting the work-pieces. There is a self-weight attached with the reciprocating mechanism to provide the necessary downward force required for penetration of hacksaw blade in to the work-piece.
